Weekly Pasadena News Reports: District 7 Candidate Can't Find Boundaries

From: Oh, it's from the Pasadena S-Nooze:

Can the other candidates say myopic?

Here's the S-Nooze story from today's paper:

When District 7 council candidates met Wednesday to discuss issues at a Madison Heights neighborhood forum, they really zeroed in on local issues.

The discussion mainly centered on traffic on neigborhood streets, such as El Molino Avenue and other adjacent streets.

The district actually goes much further east than that area, into a part of Pasadena that doesn't really have problems with through-traffic on smaller neighborhood streets.

Candidates might want to take note of that: Terry Tornek, a member of the Planning Commission, who is running for the seat, said Thursday he was surprised to learn just how far east the district goes.

That would be all the way east, Terry - to the border of Pasadena.


I couldn't make this shit up. AND THE ASSHOLE'S A PLANNING COMMISSIONER, TOO!!!

It's actually a false story that the PSN should correct. The entire eastern border of Pasadena lies in District 4 (Haderlein) not District 7. Just look at this map on the city web site

The City says:

District 7 is bounded by El Molino, California, Marengo, Glenarm, the Pasadena Freeway, Marengo, Ramiro, Encino, Kewen, Orlando, Homet San Marino, Craig, Oreida, San Gabriel, and San Gabriel and Colorado.

Looks to me like the candidate and the local birdcage liner are both wrong.

To clarify, District 7's eastern boundary ends at District 4's south-central boundary. District 4 goes all the way to the eastern city limits.
